From Commentary magazine, the U.N. has passed a very interesting resolution.
The UN Human Rights Council today passed a resolution labeling "defamation of religion" a human rights violation. The resolution was sponsored by a group of Muslim nations hoping to preempt Western criticism of actual human rights violations inside their countries. This represents a successful attempt to internationalize the Qur'anic prohibition on criticism of Islam.
I wonder if this will be observed when the target of "defamation" is any religion except Islam.
